Schooling on the Social Graph

September 11th, 2007 · Comments

04_white_bgc_with_date.jpgIt’s been a wild few months since the f8 launch event…but most of you reading this don’t need to be reminded of how much things have changed since then for web startups and entreprenuers with app ideas brewing. While we’ve not solved global poverty yet, it’s still early in the game! (90 days or so) Already, there’s been significant participation in the Facebook Developer Garages around N. America , the U.K. and another in Singapore upcoming.

In October, there are *two* multi-day facebook conferences with broader agendas: CommunityNext Platform organized by Noah Kagan & GraphingSocialPatterns put on by Dave McClure. The latter, is where I’m focusing my attention (read: building apps to demo) and contributing time; raising sponsorships - as I did for iPhoneDevCamp. Check them out and see what’s the best fit for you.

Dave McClure has steadily been building his facebook street cred, f8 knowledge and best practices. To be fair, along the way he has taken some heat for his f8 zealotry! ;)

I think GraphingSocialPatters will be a great conference at a great price. Out-of-towners will have easy-access from the San Jose airport. It will be great investment of time for the increasing number of traditional businesses looking into facebook, developers with apps to showcase, and anyone wanting to learn the intricacies of building smart, scalable apps on facebook. Check out the details and maybe I’ll see you in San Jose soon.
